Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork was named to the Associated Press All-Pro first team, a first for the nine-year veteran, and teammate Logan Mankins was named to the second team.

Wilfork had been named to the Pro Football Weekly and Pro Football Writers of America All-Pro team as well. He finished the regular season with 48 solo tackles, three sacks, two forced fumbles, and four fumble recoveries. He had earned second-team All-Pro nods in 2011, 2010, and 2007.

Despite missing six games this season, Mankins was selected to the second team. San Francisco’s Mike Iupati and New Orleans’ Jahri Evans were the first-team honorees, with Baltimore’s Marshal Yanda and Mankins on the second team.

This is the fifth time in the last six years that Mankins is a first- or second-team All-Pro; he was first-team in 2010.
